Dulzura Tricolor Slot Review
Dulzura Tricolor is another candy-themed slot from Pragmatic Play, carrying a similar confectionery wonder to Sugar Rush with colourful gummy bears and baked goods lining the reels.
As another country-exclusive release, Dulzura Tricolor is available at select casinos, giving players a taste of this sugary spin on the classic cluster pays format.
The game runs on a 7×7 grid, with clusters of five or more matching symbols creating wins before disappearing and making room for more with tumbles. It’s high volatility, with a 96.50% RTP, and a max win of 5,000x bet. With a lot more sugar than is probably healthy, let’s take a look beneath the candy coating of Dulzura Tricolor to check out the core rules and features in more detail…
Base Game & Features
Dulzura Tricolor is a cluster pays slot – every symbol pays in blocks of a minimum of five symbols connected horizontally or vertically, and a cluster is a cluster however it’s shaped, which matters on a grid this size.
Seven symbols pay on the 7×7, all of them sweets and treats. Values below are multiples of the total stake, per cluster size:
- Pancake/Sandwich Cake – 5: 1x, 7: 1.75x, 9: 2.5x, 11: 7.5x, 13: 35x, 14: 70x, 15+: 150x
- Cream Cake – 5: 0.75x, 7: 1.5x, 9: 1.5x, 11: 6x, 13: 30x, 14: 60x, 15+: 100x
- Swiss Roll – 5: 0.75x, 7: 1x, 9: 1.25x, 11: 5x, 13: 20x, 14: 30x, 15+: 60x
- White Sandwich – 5: 0.4x, 7: 0.75x, 9: 1.5x, 11: 3x, 13: 10x, 14: 20x, 15+: 40x
- Yellow Bear – 5: 0.3x, 7: 0.5x, 9: 1.25x, 11: 2.5x, 13: 8x, 14: 15x, 15+: 30x
- Blue Bear – 5: 0.25x, 7: 0.4x, 9: 0.75x, 11: 1.5x, 13: 6x, 14: 12x, 15+: 25x
- Red Bear – 5: 0.2x, 7: 0.3x, 9: 0.5x, 11: 1.5x, 13: 5x, 14: 10x, 15+: 20x
Every winning spin triggers the Tumble Feature. Winning combinations are paid, then all winning symbols disappear. The remaining symbols fall to the bottom of the screen and empty positions refill with new symbols dropping from above. Tumbles continues until no new winning combinations appear.
Multiplier Spots
The Multiplier Spots Feature is where the grid starts working for its living. Every symbol that explodes leaves a mark where it sat. The second time a symbol explodes on the same spot, a multiplier lands there, starting at x2 and doubling every time one more symbol explodes on top of it, up to a maximum of x128.
A spot’s multiplier applies to all winning combinations that hit on top of it. Where more than one multiplier is involved in the same win, they add to each other rather than multiplying, so a x32 spot and a x16 spot under one cluster pay as x48.
In the base game, marked spots last until the end of the tumble sequence and clear when the tumbles stop. The free spins round changes that, which is the whole difference between the two halves of the game.
Dulzura Tricolor Free Spins & Multipliers
The free spins round is the whole point of the game, because it changes one rule and that rule is the multiplier spots. Hit 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatter symbols anywhere on the screen and the round awards:
- 3 scatters – 10 free spins
- 4 scatters – 12 free spins
- 5 scatters – 15 free spins
- 6 scatters – 20 free spins
- 7 scatters – 30 free spins
During the round, marked spots and their multipliers stay in place until the round ends, and they keep growing with subsequent tumbles across all of the free spins. The base game wipes its slate clean every sequence; the bonus lets a x2 spot climb towards x128 over the course of the round.
Since multipliers add rather than multiply, a mature grid with several high-value spots underneath a big cluster is where the serious money on this game lives. Special reels are in play during the feature, so the symbol mix isn’t the same as the base game’s.
The round retriggers. Hit 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatters during the round, anywhere on the screen, and you win 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 additional free spins respectively. There’s no stated cap on retriggers.
Buy Free Spins
The free spins round can be triggered instantly from the base game by buying it for 100x the current total bet. There’s a single tier, no choice of variant, and the scatter count isn’t guaranteed.
When you buy, you can hit 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 scatter symbols at random, so the buy price covers anything from 10 to 30 spins. The cheapest outcome and the richest one cost the same.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.3/10
Dulzura Tricolor looks like a sweet shop, but underneath all those colourful treats and sugary exterior, there’s a well-oiled machine that can get surprisingly juicy. The base game eases you in and feels quite gentle, with smaller clusters and tumbles coming and going, but the fun begins when those same positions keep getting hit and multipliers start stacking.
The persistent multiplier spots are the game’s best ingredient. Each repeat hit makes them more valuable, meaning a grid can turn a modest cluster into a much tastier payout. Add in retriggers and a strong Free Spins round can keep the sugar rush going on for a long time, to the point where you may be bouncing off the walls in excitement.
The only downside really is that the regular paytable doesn’t offer much, topping out at 150x, and given that it’s highly volatile, payouts can sometimes be few and far between.
Still, if you’re someone with a sweet tooth who likes watching a bonus build from a few innocent-looking sweets into something more filling, Dulzura Tricolor is worth a try – and is good enough to eat.
